The first quarter of 2017 has witnessed yet another noticeable change in the political ambiance of the nation and the mood of the voters. With the saffron continuing its invasion around the nation, there is no stopping them. To add on, weak tactics by opponents are adding to the following of BJP.

Fourth month in 2017, few noteworthy things in Indian politics are worth mentioning here :

BJP’s massive win in UP

The alliance of Congress and SP led by son Akhilesh Yadav lost heavily to BJP and Mulayam Singh’s words , father of Akhilesh and master politician of all times, came true. BJP over threw all the parties to make a majority govt in the most sought after state Uttar Pradesh. The BJP was eyeing this state most desperately.

This win has clearly hurt if not killed caste based and minority vote politics. The weakness of regional parties and their inability fetch votes on the basis of merits is visible. With Uttar Pradesh, which plays major role in making and breaking govts of the nation, one thing is clear. The political scenario is changing big time in India.

Nothing wrong in it. One has personal views and should be respected but the real issue was that she alleged she was manhandled by BJP supported ABVP students while she was going to attend seminar in another college where Omar Khalid was going to speak.

Omar Khalid is being heard ? He is allowed to speak and roam free despite enchanting anti-national slogans, is that not enough freedom given by the govt ?

People like Gurmeher and Khalid need freedom to speak even when it hurts sentiments of people who are pro-nation. When they get reactions from these pro-nationals they cry fowl. Even a self-proclaimed patriot has freedom to counter back.

Left supported propaganda in universities of the nation ensure some people come to limelight ( for limited time, of course) against the might of BJP’s brand ambassador – Modi. With such acts, in today’s political environment, left parties are digging the last layer of their political grave. More and more people are finding their agendas as anti-national and their thoughts non-visionary.

Cribbing Opposition depicts lack of introspection

Delhi CM, Kejriwal has been shouting EVM machines were being hacked and rigged and that is how BJP has been winning in UP and other places. He has the tendency of shouting foul play for anything on earth going in favour of Modi. Rather than introspecting and coming up with better plans, most of the political leaders have demonstrated weakness in front of a well-planned and visionary group. From Mayawati, the BSP supremo to Bengal CM and TMC supremo Ms Banerjee everyone yelled in unison with Delhi CM, Arvind Kejriwal making their position all the more weak. There is no self-remorse or introspection. No change in acts and rectification of mistakes being made by regional leaders. The panic on their face and actions are clearly visible. They seem to have given up lot ahead of losing in elections.

Ever increasing powers of duo Modi and Shah

Looks like, there is no stopping for BJP , Modi and his closest aide and party president, Amit Shah. BJP snatched back losing Goa and managed making govt in Manipur. Won Uttar Pradesh massively. After Assam, Manipur was the second state where BJP which was never big, made it real big.

While, PM Modi has continued to remain the star orator and performer of his party, the party president knows the permutation and combination games he needs to play to make it to power.

Seems like from Owaisi brothers to Nitish and Lalu to Kejriwal and Didi, everyone is losing political battle to BJP.

Three years of the BJP government is about to get over. Although, not great but change in administrative approach was surely visible. The ‘chalta hai’ Indian administrative system seems history now. Decisions are being taken by govt despite risks of losing public support.

Some are still against Modi, a few are yet not convinced while quite a number have also added to the club of die-hard fans of Modi in the nation and abroad.

To conclude, good thing that happened, since 2014, minority vote bank politics has suffered a major set-back which used to play a major role in dividing Indians on the basis of faiths they follow. And caste politics suffered in this UP election. The Indian citizens who were divided into faiths, states, castes, skin and what not are now majorly divided into to groups only – Pro-Modi and Anti-Modi.

Mulayam Singh Yadav , the Supremo of SP has pulled out from the “grand alliance” of Janata Parivar ahead of Bihar Elections. Reportedly, SP was offered 5 seats to contest in the elections and that became a reason of Mulayam’s stepping back. The party has decided to contest all on its own.

While, SP is not a grand player in Bihar politics but contesting alone would favour BJP as the Nitish-Lalu alliance may suffer vote-cuts. BJP claimed that comparatively low turn out in Swabhiman Rally called by Janata Parivar has been a reason why SP preferred stepping back. Some room for relief and may be laughter for BJP ??
